Wondering if a course for newcomers on properly setting up & securing a reliable & tightly-secured alt to Zoom might be interesting. Geared to those wanting larger calls (50-150) or many concurrent calls, & with more Zoom-alike features than Jitsi offers.

The official BigBlueButton installation method is a breeze, but even so I see many deploying on bad bones: no disk encryption for recordings & db, no disk redundancy, poor security on their tunnel, no backup/restore strategy++

@JulianOliver Jitsi is a bunch of java blobs, but I've heard good things about Galene.

@pertho Oh nice, I will try this. Thanks!

Jitsi has been really hit and miss over the years. And the lack of turnkey solution for locally hosted recordings and recording management is a real blocker for many.

BigBlueButton is however a daily driver here, and matured to the point I'm confident recommending it to orgs, groups. I've helped a good number move off Zoom to it entirely.
